It tells you a lot about the arrogance of team owners that the Astros didn't re-think this one.

And I'm an Angels fan saying this. But really, fuck the Astros at this point.

Anyway, MLB's been too busy deciding that Houston's Yuli Gurriel's on camera racist slant-eye gesture at pitcher Yu Darvish (who is from Japan) in Game 3 didn't merit suspending him until the 2018 regular season, allowing him to continue to play in the Series. (The hometown crowd gave Gurriel a rousing ovation at his first at bat in Game 4.)
